Bergen County, NJ Family Law Lawyer Supports You In All Family Law Matters
Most of us don’t expect to require a New Jersey judge to intervene in our private family matters, but in some cases, when the legal relationship between family members changes, the courts must get involved. Family law covers the legal responsibilities of family members toward one another, including divorce, child custody and support, spousal support, adoption, marriage and pre-nuptial agreements, and helping victims of domestic violence seek the protections they need. Our Bergen County, NJ family law lawyer handles all family law-related matters, from the simple to the most contentious and complex.
Having professional advice during a change in your legal relationship with someone else can help protect your rights. And sometimes, having an experienced, cool-headed legal guide can help you focus on what you need to accomplish and make good choices for your future. At Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C., we advocate for you and help make sure that you get the best possible outcome in your family law matter. Please contact us today for a personalized consultation.
Types Of Family Law Matters We Handle
We tailor our advice to your specific needs, explaining what is possible under New Jersey state law and giving you options you may not have considered. We can help you with:
- Divorce and Separation: New Jersey has no legal separation, but we can help you with a written agreement dividing your responsibilities while your divorce is pending. We can also represent you in a divorce, helping you secure your fair share of marital assets, spousal support as appropriate, and a child custody and support schedule that works best for your child and your needs.
- Annulment: There are some grounds under which you can make it so that the marriage never legally happened. Our attorneys can help you understand your options for annulment or divorce.
- Enforcement of Court Orders: If one spouse isn’t complying with their responsibilities for paying alimony, or if you’re having trouble with your child’s other parent complying with the custody and child support orders, we can take legal action.
- Post-Judgement Modifications: Sometimes life changes, and your alimony or child custody arrangements must change. We can petition the court if one parent moves away, loses their job, or if the child wants to live exclusively with one parent.
- Facilitating Adoptions: While we cannot vet prospective adoptive parents or adoption agencies, we can help you with the legal side of growing your family. We can also advise you of common scams in the adoption industry.
- Domestic Violence: If you are unsafe in your home or being abused by a spouse, roommate, or another family member, we can help you with restraining orders and other court actions to help you escape and find safety.
